Chocolate Raspberry Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp ice water

For the Chocolate Filling:

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Layer:

  • 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.
  2. Add chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add egg yolk and ice water, pulse until the dough just comes together.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and press into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Roll and Bake the Crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and press into the edges.
  3. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the parchment and weights, and bake for another 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Filling:

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it into the cooled tart crust.

4. Prepare the Raspberry Layer:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Let the raspberry sauce cool.

5. Assemble the Tart:

  1. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart shell and smooth the top.
  2. Spoon the raspberry sauce over the chocolate filling, or swirl it in gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
  3. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Before serving, garnish with extra fresh raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
  2. Slice and enjoy the rich, decadent combination of chocolate and raspberry!
